vacboy 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hello all, just after some advice if thats ok. I'm looking for a bullgreyhound pup to run with my saluki greyhound. I've seen a few 50/50 crosses but they're a bit heavy for my liking. Ideally I was after somthing a bit lighter but with a bull head. I've been told to go for a 5/8 3/8 but was just wondering what more experienced opinions may add. Many thanks in advance and if anyone could post some pics that'd be great. Quote Link to post

blackpack 70 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 not too sure why people think if the dog has a big head it will be a cruncher, in my opinion its the heart and drive that counts for me bud, my terriers have small heads but they are always game Quote Link to post

vacboy 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 thanks for advice fellas. I dont work my saluki greyhound but do loads of miles with her, walking, mountain biking the lot. A [bANNED TEXT] of mine has got a bullgreyhound and it's an awesome dog, always got his eye on his owner to see what he's up to. The dog follows him everywhere and always come back on a single whistle. I really like the look of him but want something that can do plenty of milage thats why I wanted it a bit lighter. The bull head is purely coz I like the look of it. He looks a real solidly built dog and very athletic. Thanks for all your replies Quote Link to post
